"OH FUCK!"
I scramble out of my nashville bed, naked as can be, finding Brantley on my bed, naked as can be also.
my head was pounding and i couldn't even think back to what we did last night.
except for the obvious fact that we were both naked and my ass was expected at caroline and luke's.
I sighed, before washing up and getting dressed, leaving brantley at the house, driving while blasting some country radio.
"Now this morning we've got news from TMZ about Carter Sullivan!"The dj starts making me furrow my eyebrows, turning up the radio as i pull down the Bryans street.
"Turns out Carter Sullivan isn't done with her drinking, photos of Luke Bryan, Caroline Bryan, and Cole Swindell taking her out of Luke's bar! TMZ said they tried to contact her manager and got no comment at the time! This is Abby in the morning from 103.3 the bull."some perky girl on the radio finishes right as i pull into Luke and Caroline's driveway, "Fuck!"
My grip around my truck steering wheel tightens to the point of where my knuckles are white.
Everybody knew that i had relapsed and there was no way of denying it.
I needed to get back to being sober and i knew it.
hell everybody knew it.
i needed to talk to Kerri about time off and i needed to do it soon.
After a few minutes, i gain my composure before hopping out of my truck, finding Caroline on the back, "Hey."
"Hey."She smiled, before patting the spot down next to her, and i gladly take it, tucking my knees up to my chest.
"did you hear?"i asked after a couple minutes and she nodded, "Luke's pissed and went to go talk to Kerri about it."
"I need to leave."I sighed, and she looked at me wide eyed, "Carter Mae—"
"Not like that!"I cut her off, "I mean get time off and get better before i go back into the studio."
"take mama with me and just spend time with her. I haven't spent much time at home ever since last Christmas, even then."I looked down at the wooden porch, as Caroline looked at me with worried eyes, "You want my opinion?"
I nodded, and she paused before continuing, "I say take your mama, jason, and elise up to maine for a month and just relax. Get sober before jumping back into anything because if you do, you'll get caught up in the drama."Caroline took a sip of her coffee and I nodded, "How's your daddy?"
"Good."I sent her a soft smile, playing with the fabric of the t-shirt i had on.
"i told him he needs to retire soon thought, doesn't believe he should because he needs to have as much saved up for jason and i, told him i had that all covered."the two of us laugh at my fathers stubbornness before footsteps come onto the back porch, and I find Luke with anger and frustration in his eyes.
"Kerri doesn't even know who the fuck took the pictures, or who got the information!"Luke rants off, as i slowly shrink down into my chair, and I could tell Luke was pissed the hell off.
"it's fine luke."his eyes went on me, furrowing my eyebrows, "it doesn't matter anyway, i'm going away for a bit if i get the time off."
"where are you going?"luke questions, going behind Caroline's chair, and I shrug, "not sure yet. But i'm making my daddy take time off, take the family somewhere."
